nx wont warrenty brand new solenoid Brand new nx solenoid, put on mustang, worked a few times then smelled some burning smell from it on the dyno. The magnet on the nx nitrous solenoid cracked and looks like it pressure inside it pushed it open from pressure or something....
Called nx they said they dont warrenty the solenoids from that failure because the only way to damage them that way is to wire the solenoid incorrectly or use it for an extended period of time more than intended use.
Thats a bunch of crap and is going to cost over a $100 bucks to replace. Any ideas?

Seems like you have nothing but bad luck with every brand of kit you install, I think I have seen you post something bad happening with almost every brand of kit out there lol.

C4VetteLS,
I hate to see that you are having a bad run.I would start by checking your grounds.It has to be a wiring issue.When a solenoid is deffective it is the piston normally.The coil end of the solenoid is not covered under warrenty because of the fact if you have a bad ground or it ios wired wrong it will smoke the coil in a matter of seconds.In some casses it may take a little longer.As long as the piston is still alright you can just replace the coil.

So ive used lots of NX stuff, TNT , nos with good success, but noone posts when they have good luck with stuff really unless its something new...
so i guess you just hear the bad things...
Appreciated daves nitro and cold fusion... but we swapped another solenoid to get the guy down the road and its fine now....Its not wiring, as ive wired 100+ nitrous kits and i double/triple checked everything after this solenoid smoked.
